The Emory, Maybourne

The Emory places you between the elegant streets of Belgravia and the greenery of Hyde Park, with a discreet entrance tucked away in Old Barrack Yard. Knightsbridge and Harrods are an easy walk away, while Hyde Park is directly across the road. It feels remarkably private for such a well-placed London address.

Discretion is part of The Emory’s appeal. There are just 61 studios and suites, each on a different floor, designed by names including André Fu, Patricia Urquiola and Pierre Yves Rochon. Every stay includes a 24-hour Emory Butler, unpacking and pressing on arrival, and use of the house car for local journeys.

Sleek, contemporary interiors and a polished, residential feel run throughout the hotel. Move up to the Park Suites for views towards Hyde Park, while the Hyde Park Balcony Suite adds a separate living room, dining area and private balcony overlooking the park. At the top end, the Emory Park Suite brings two bedrooms, expansive living spaces and sweeping Hyde Park views from its own balcony.

The four-storey Surrenne wellbeing club is a destination in its own right. At its heart is a beautiful 22-metre pool, lit by a skylight, alongside treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, and the exclusive Tracy Anderson Studio.

abc kitchens marks Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s first abc restaurant in the UK, bringing together influences from his celebrated New York. The Emory Rooftop Bar is reserved for hotel guests and private members, offering panoramic views across Hyde Park and the London skyline.
